Reproducible: Always

Thank you for reporting! I missed Thunderbird in the last round of Mozilla advisories due to Mozilla releasing them asynchronously, so I'll block the tracker here.

mozilla@, please stabilize 91.6.1.

Comment 3 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2022-03-06 09:46:34 UTC
I'm gonna push thunderbird-91.6.2 straight to stable today due to multiple "possible" security fixes it carries.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird/#thunderbird91.6.2
(may be updated later?)
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/91.6.2/releasenotes/

May need to package.use.mask system-libvpx for x86 since upstream hasn't commented anything about it, and figure out the root-reason later. Might be related to "too new" libvpx that's stabilized in Gentoo, wouldn't be the first time firefox/thunderbird need to depend on older version. Just for the record, firefox-esr and thunderbird both bundle 1.8.2 version of libvpx.

* package.use.force of course ^

Thanks, I didn't even notice Thunderbird was affected in this advisory thanks to the advisory title not mentioning it.
